I crocheted this cuddle sack with matching hat a couple days ago while spending time at the hospital with my grandson. Then today we made out last donations of the year. 170 items to Help For Kids here in Myrtle Beach. Our total for the year is 858 items. Now we will be crocheting and loom knitting for 2014.

While visiting our 20 year old grandson Erick in the hospital today, we donated 57 baby blankets, cuddle sacks and hats. Erick got to go down to the nursery with us when we made the donation to the nurses. I think it was great for him to see where some of our donations go.

This was a fun blanket to crochet and the pattern went very fast. The pattern can be found here http://oneyarnafteranotherblog.com/category/crochet-patterns/ I use Lions Brand Pound of Love yarn and a H hook. As the pattern didn't have a finished edging, I just did a simple double crochet then a single crochet for the edging.

It seems I have been working on this baby blanket forever. Finally finished it last night while baby-sitting. It seemed like forever as I stopped and read 3 books before the blanket was done. I love series books and couldn't stop reading.

I went to AC Moore this morning and got some yarn on sale. After we got home a package of yarn was delivered. With what I got yesterday I think I have almost enough yarn to get me through the winter. I say almost because there will probably be another good sale coming up.
